St. John's suffered a minor setback in its 64-62 loss at Hartford on Friday. Three players scored in double figures, including Monique McLean with 17 points and 11 rebounds. But that isn't the most pressing matter for the Red Storm, who had their winning streak stopped at four.
Big news hit the Red Storm campus when Mary Louis standout Amanda Burakoski gave them a verbal commitment. The 6-foot junior averaged over 20 points per game last year and helped lead the Hilltoppers to the New York State Federation Class A title last season. Coach Kim Barnes Arico is setting a strong recruiting base and clearly has an eye for talent. Check out freshman guard Sky Lindsay and junior guard Monique McLean.
Lindsay has great potential and McLean is likely on her way to All-Big East honors.
